This is an advertisement for anyone who lives in my area and would like one; break into my building, and then break through my door and the little iPod shuffle is yours. I know it’s good to show off our material wealth to the world so that they can assess how worth burgling we are. Of course, it’d be a shame to break into my place because I’ll either be there and in the room, or I won’t be there and the dear Shuffle won’t be either since it’s so darn small and easy to take everywhere with you. It never leaves my side, or more accurately, my coate pocket. Most of the time I can’t find it, but it actually is there, simply hidden away. 

I’m liking it so far – it’s a bit of a nifty little thing. The one thing that you have to get used to is navigating through the songs on the your (single) playlist. It took me a while to work out how the iTunes software had organised the songs, and it appears it’s done by how you had them organised when you were playing them, the last time you were using the iTunes software.

Anyway, it’s fun, and playful and that’s all that’s expected of it really; it does its job, perfectly.

I’m amusing myself into the night by a virtual duel that’s going on with my most esteemed web host, Ms P. I mention to her that I’m having problems with the Users on the server, and then a few minutes I check back into the admin function and see that she’s created new users to test it out and figue out this system. It’s an odd one, but then I don’t have an overly huge collection of experience with web-based-server-mangaged-blog-publishing-architecture; I think it shows.
But it’s funny all the same.

Following retirement, following her instincts, Susan Hesse began to experiment with her digital camera and started taking photos of fruit and vegetables from her local market. What makes her photos unique is that she’s placed partial facial features of her own and her husband’s face on the objects she photographs to create the image. In doing this she humanises the produce and gives it a new angle. The New York Times contributed to this report.

I woke up two hours early today, long before my appointed hour, for a class that has now been cancelled for not apparent reason; perhaps the lecturer simply couldn’t face it this morning. The worst thing about it, having to sit next to the wet drips who are the Biology students in this place – it’s like talking to a defrosting fridge – slow, morose, cold and unaware.
